Keep the heat on

So far, there have been no public statements of support for Arlen Specter to be chairman from any of the Republican members on the Judiciary Committee. Not even from Specter's fellow senator from Pennsylvania, Rick Santorum. Human Events has this report. Keep the pressure on the committee members and the Republican leadership. Call, write, fax, email.

Specter commented on Sean Hannity's radio program yesterday about the brouhaha over his remarks. He said (among other things) that the people who are opposed to him are the same people who tried to have him defeated in the primary election last spring. Of course they are. They did not think he was the best option for Pennsylvania conservatives then, and they don't think he is the best option for conservatives on the Judiciary Committee now. Brilliant analysis, Senator.
